Kangaroo Paw

One of Australia’s flora and fauna icons is the Kangaroo Paw, it looks quirky but has a really nice colour to it.
Soft to touch like an aloe-vera plant but also has a furry feeling to it.

Kings Park has plenty of these scattered around the nature trails and along the main entrance overlooking the city.

Aspects Cafe

The cafe that overlooks Perth city and the surrounding monuments, located in the main populated area for tourists to relax and enjoy the view while snacking.

Not sure what the coffee is like up there though.

Apartment Complex

On my walk out of Kings Park I found this building to be quite interesting, I believe its been on the hillside overlooking Perth city for many years as it looks really old and almost retro up close.

Seems almost like something screws into the top of it.

Kings Park Entrance

The round-about at the top of St. Georges Terrace which then turns into Kings Park Road is the main entrance feature into Kings Park itself.

Lotterywest Federation Walkway

James — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:50:58 +0000

The Lotterywest Federation Walkway in Kings Park slightly overlooks Perth city as you can just see the top of the main buildings, but it mainly overlooks the southern part of the Swan and Canning Rivers and sits above the old Perth Brewery.

“The Lotterywest Federation Walkway reaches a maximum height of 16 m at the apex of the uniquely designed 52 m glass and steel arched bridge which appears suspended amidst the canopy of tall eucalypts, including Karri, Marri, Tingle and Jarrah trees.”

Queen Victoria Statue & Cannons

Queen Victoria Statue

Presented to the people of Western Australia by Mr A. Stoneham in 1902, the two guns dated 1843 may have been used in the Crimean War. Those dated 1813 and 1814 may have been used by Wellington’s army at Waterloo.

Perth City Front

As a follow on to the previous cityscape photo of Perth. I took this one of the entire city itself.

This is basically the entire city front of all the largest buildings within the city and the newly built Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre.
